A new service takes money away from the CIA and NSA computer funding.
Every new mission completed wold take prestige away from existing agencies.
Best to keep it within the existing command structure and allow all winning to be the result of existing "cyber" teams.
The problem for the CIA is finding people who where never on social media and who have the needed international skills.
Every useful graduate that has language, arts, science to a standard that can pass as educated internationally had some online history.
What nations that the CIA is spy on did was buy into a lot of US social media data and build a large real time database of decades of US education.
Anyone in the USA who is educated to any useful "CIA" standard is now online as part of the US education system.
Great for the US education system and the graduates looking for work.
No so good for the CIA trying to pass a CIA spy as part of the US diplomatic workforce for decades of embassy work.
That persons past does not fit with the history presented and the work done in the embassy.
Other nations the CIA likes to spy on have created and contracted a lot of US detective agencies and US investigators who do pre-employment screening on workers. All US workers.
Their real time decades of data sets allow most nations to build up a database of every US graduate and "worker" with the academic ability to work internationally.
The CIA attempted to create past factual histories online for missions but if the data was not in place years ago and in the hands of the private investigators it does hold up. New data given to US social media stands out when placed in trying to look a decade old.
The only way around this is to use real US citizens who get asked to work for the CIA in another nation.
Business, NGO, charity, people of faith, engineers, historians, tourists, medical experts all get approached to be "CIA" and report back on their visit to another nation the CIA is interested in. Their past is perfect as it is all "true" and other nations are trusting of average people.
The AI is just an internal CIA database of all the normal people from everyday US who are now working for the CIA around the world.
Its not real spies the CIA knows and trusts so its "artificial intelligence" as in the people doing the spying for the USA are not classic CIA spies in any way.
A CIA computer system gets asked to find the best US graduates to spy on China. That group of people get approached and the CIA offers them a deal before their next trip to China.
That person works, holidays, studies in China with a few side tasks for the CIA and then returns to the USA with their reports.
The problem for the CIA is that it cant trust the people it is now contracting to be spies.
They did not come from within the CIA and all its own investigations.
Split loyalty and Communist support then becomes a risk for the CIA when approaching US academics to spy for the CIA.
Social media and its images upset decades of easy CIA spying globally.
The problem for the USA and UK is that their gov/mil malware is regional and has to stay hidden.
When discovered the malware also has to look very average.
The UK wants to collect on every computer network in Ireland and all Irish supporters in the USA.
So subtle differences in gov malware only found in the wild in Ireland/USA would get detected by the more advanced AV brands.
The US wants collect it all but different cyber projects do not want to collect within the USA, 5 eye nations.
FBI projects might only collect in the USA and regions of the USA. Under the cover of state and federal task forces.
Globally that adds up to very distinct regional changes in advanced nation state funded malware finding its way into lots of low end consumer computers and networks.
The CIA and MI6 can have very advanced but parallel collection projects than a NSA, GCHQ.
MI5 within Ireland and the UK.
The governments are using contractors to create new malware that looks like average malware so it cant be seen as advanced security service products.
Why use bespoke code once that can be tracked back to the security services when contractors can just use average new malware again and again?
Very average gov malware gets detected globally and regionally by AV brands with skills. Thats the risk.
How to keep gov malware safe? Stop the better AV brands from collecting globally and seeing regional security services malware differences.
It helped the monopoly telcos keep other services from starting. NN was a wonderful federal rule that only a few monopoly brands could support.
The NN paper insulated wireline was kept safe from new networks.
The end of federal NN rules should see more new innovative network services in different cities and states.
The US and NATO love their space command spending. Advance nations have sent in their spies and now have an understanding of how the West mil systems work.
The more the US and NATO become totally dependant on systems that need a "strong signal to the satellite" the more other advance nations will study that operational weakness.
The money was in sending data. Not in having complex systems to encrypt in space. That was power and complexity that can be done on earth. The sat just gets data and moves it. More data, more profit.
Re "but the ones in orbit for decades might not be."
Its the way the NSA thought.
It was better to collect data in space for the NSA and have the speed of cheaper communications for the USA.
Why risk communications in space getting crypto that could fail or not work over many years stuck in every sat?
Thats a lot of extra work for the communications network in space. Encrypt end to end and pass the secure data from via a low cost communications sat network.
That allowed the US a place many new advanced sats that did not need secure and complex crypto tested in each sat. A saving in extra complexity and support at the time. The US could put that savings to other systems in the sat design and trust in crypto over the total network not just per sat.
The US also feared staff would sell, walk out with a set crypto design per sat and that would make all crypto in that sat network space junk.
The ability to see nation created malware and report on it in near real time.
That needs a lot of users in the USA, Canada, the UK, Russia, Japan, the EU as way of detecting regional differences in real time.
What the US, UK gov will use globally as malware but trust in their own nations would stand out.
The regional collect it all efforts.
What gov bailed malware, network patterns is not out in the wild in the USA, 5 eye nations then becomes what stands out globally.
Understanding the internet, the movement of malware results by governments is not something the NSA, GCHQ wants to emerge as a real time protective product for consumers world wide.
Most advanced nations fix that with technical training over decades. They can then fill any skill shortage with short term visa workers with actual skills.
Its getting pushed to change governments. Show up in another nation as a non citizen and get a free UBI.
The illegal aliens get their share of a UBI in any nation.
Re "what to do with too many people going after too few jobs"
Support them with a means tested gov payment.
A payment for study to stay in education. For not having a job. Old age pension.
Working part time? The amount of direct gov support is reduced depending on the part time income. Working full time again and the payments stop.
That ensures only the citizens of a nation get a smaller payment when working part time. When working again they pay tax.
When citizens are not working they get full support.
No UBI needed for people who are working.

Makes a user wonder what a lot of the other EU and US AV brands are doing that the US gov totally approves of?

stay away from social media. Once friends of friends start to tag images, governments, police and employers will follow the data trail.
Most advanced nations fix that with technical training over decades. They can then fill any skill shortage with short term visa workers with actual skills.
Connect the UBI to a bank card. Then have a list of products and services that can be supported with the payment. No liquor allowed.
The UBI payments for all a nations citizens cant be bigger than a part of a nations tax income.
